Can I bring a plus one?

We are at capacity with our venue which means we are sadly unable to accommodate additional guests. We look forward to celebrating with you on the day!

Are kids welcome?

As much as we love your little ones, this will be an adults-only celebration. We hope this advance notice means you’re able to let your hair down and celebrate with us on the day!

When is the RSVP deadline?

Due to the intimate nature of our wedding, please be advised that the RSVP deadline is July 31, 2025. Responses after this date may result in your invitation being reconsidered.

Is there a dress code?

Yes, there is a dress code, and it is non-negotiable. Guests are required to wear primarily black attire, with no more than 10% white. Acceptable white elements include: white dress shirts, subtle white patterns on black dresses, white accessories (e.g., ties, pocket squares) Please ensure that the majority of your outfit is black. Thank you for adhering to this guideline as we celebrate our special day!

Why are you asking guests to wear majority black?

Asking guests to wear black to our wedding is a stylish choice that creates an elegant and cohesive look for the event. It also reflects a modern and formal theme, emphasizing sophistication. Additionally, black is versatile and flattering on most people, helping everyone feel their best. Ultimately, it’s a way to set a specific tone for the celebration.

What is a "Happily Ever After Party"?

When we originally envisioned our wedding day, we wanted it to be intimate and private, with only our nearest and dearest in attendance.  However, as we embarked on our wedding planning, we came to realize there were individuals, like yourself, who could not be excluded.  We couldn’t envision our special day without these people. In order to preserve that intimacy, we decided to keep our ceremony and dinner private and then have our "Happily Ever After Party" immediately following.

My spouse has a different invitation than me, why is that?

We have sent out two types of invitations: one includes details for both the ceremony and the after party, while the other focuses solely on the after party. By creating two guest lists, we are ensuring our closest friends and family can join us for a small, intimate ceremony, while also including more loved ones in the celebration.

The invitation says BYOB, what do you mean by that?

The venue for our wedding is BYOB, which means guests are invited to bring their own beverages. We encourage you to bring coolers to store your drinks and keep them chilled throughout the celebration. Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to celebrating together!

Can I bring a gift?

Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift of all. But lets be real: things are expensive. As much as we are deeply touched by thoughtful gifts, at this stage of our lives where we are getting established and moving towards our goals, monetary gifts would make the most impact, we also have an added page with our registry of items that would add to our already loving home. Let's not make it weird! We want to celebrate with you, so all you need to bring is your dancing shoes!

Where is the ceremony?

The ceremony will be held outdoors on the lawn at North Bank Lodge. As the ground is grassy, we kindly advise against wearing thin-heeled shoes, as they may sink into the lawn. We look forward to celebrating this special moment with you in such a picturesque setting.
